The Mulhacén with its 3480m is the roof of the Sierra Nevada and the Iberian Peninsula. On a 2-day route we guide you to its summit where we can enjoy unbeatable views and sensations. To make it more bearable, we will spend the night at the Poqueira refuge located at an altitude of 2500m.
Day 1
Departure from the Portillo basin in Capileira. We will cross the pine forest where in its highest part, we will see the twisted pine trees with very curious shapes due to the forces of the air and the snow. We will go up to the Poqueira refuge, where we will spend the night and rest before ascending Mulhacén the next day.
Day 2
After breakfast we will ascend the Mulhacén River to reach the Caldera lagoon at about 3000m high. After a short rest we will begin the attack to the summit. On our ascent, we will stop at Collado del Ciervo, where we will take a breather and marvel at the views before our eyes. The impressive walls of the Alcazaba and Mulhacén, with the Mosca lagoon at their feet, will occupy our entire field of vision. Once we have conquered its summit, we will descend along the southern slope towards the Portillo basin in Capileria.
- If you are in good physical condition, this climb can be done in one day depending on the snow conditions.
